Thanks, man. It's almost frustrating how few attention my projects that are targeted to Linux users get nowadays on HN. That said, I appreciate your appreciation, very much.
If you try it out, let me know how well it works. So far I only had a chance to test it on a ThinkPad X230 and X250, and I would be interested to know how well it works on other models, potentially even with other vendors. Though, I haven't seen any non-ThinkPad laptop yet that has LEDs that can be controlled through the Linux kernel.
Also in case you are using Firefox on Debian/Ubuntu, note that blinklight requires at least Firefox 50, which is not yet in Debian stable/testing, but Firefox 52 can be installed from experimental.
